Getting help
Writer provides several forms of help. In addition to a full Help file
(reached by pressing
F1
or choosing Help > OpenOffice.org Help
from the menu bar), you can choose whether to activate tooltips,
extended tips, and the Help Agent from Tools > Options >
OpenOffice.org > General.
Placing the mouse pointer over any of the icons displays a small box,
called a
tooltip
. It gives a brief explanation of the icon’s function. For a
more detailed explanation, select Help > What’s This? and hold the
mouse pointer over the icon you need more help with.
Closing a document
To close a document, click File > Close.
You can also close a document by clicking on the Close icon on the
document window. In Windows XP, this button looks like the X in the
red box shown in Figure 1.
